M1010 Rims I completely agree. The aluminum Wheels came off a military Range unit and were on the truck when I got it. You are not the only one to voice that opinion and I'm waiting for the day I wake up and one of the local purists changes them over while I'm sleeping......Still waiting. I...

Fluid Compatibility Not quite as bad as dumping motor oil into the brake system which pulls the inside of the rubber off everything and plugs lines. Sounds like you might have something similar going on. 78 civi chev learned the reason behind the Material Safety Data System. MSDS This link...

1951 da burb Tanner, there's a few family members that are involved and a 'plan' will be coming from them sometime soon...I hope. For now it's a tear down and evaluate. I believe we will agree on all original restoration including the "pre-oiler" engine which is supposed to have lots of life...

1951 Suburban A few exterior shots

1951 Suburban The truck was driven to it's parking spot sometime in the last 3 decades and would probably start with a jump. Prior to firing or even trying to turn it over everything will be removed, purged, cleaned, blown out, lubed, juiced, replaced, measured and weighed. The least we'll do...

Placement Appreciate the kind words gents! It's good to remember friends........often. Stan, that's great! What's the reason for the location or when it might have been done for the first time? Can you tell this civilian what it's all about? Having some historical positioning for tributes...

1951 Suburban Digital cameras are great for hidden places. A picture inside the passenger door shows a little age but it's not in bad shape. 3 or 4 layers of paint are poking through with black, brown, semi gloss OD and whatever OD is on top. The green under the hood is in such great shape...

M1010 lower rad hose I will get to the ambubus later to see if the original hose has a legible number. I hate to say 'try this' but if your hose is S shaped, has approx. 1 3/4" on one end and 2" on the other........... Try this: Dayco 711-45 Got the info from our local Part Stop in...

Stenciling and Dedicating You asked the big question Mr.T, maybe we can bounce some ideas around. If I knew what the first stenciling was that went on, I would do that. Obviously something CDN to match the truck but what it's going to be, I have no idea... If we stencil the doors they will...

Electrical I battled through some electrical challenges and it turns out that unless someone is standing beside you, you're on your own. The local builders usually say, "It's just electrical", or "If it's rubber, replace it....If it's electrical, clean it". Hope you find some local support but...
